Page 2: Staff Ride

The U. S. Cavalry School uses the histor-ic Military Staff Ride technique for the on-site study and analysis of significant battles. The highlight of this program is a field study of one of several battlefields that are important to a fuller understand-ing of military / cavalry operations. The Staff Ride is cited by the U.S. Mili-tary as “one of the most powerful tech-niques of instruction available for the ed-ucation of professional soldiers.” The format of instruction normally involves three phases:

Preliminary study

Field study

Retrospection

Staff ride participants learn the lessons of effective leadership, unit cohesion, tactics and strategy, and the use of terrain on the battlefield. The lessons of decision mak-ing, establishing & following a relevant strategy, teamwork, communication, and logistics are taught incomparably in the Staff Ride.

Whether you are a Military, Government, or civilian group our Staff Rides and en-campments are superb teambuilding events, provide lasting lessons, and amaz-ing memories. Each Staff Ride is carefully planned to ensure the most meaningful education experience possible.

Our Little Bighorn Staff Ride and en-campment is held on this sacred battle-field, where a portion of the battle was fought, and is intermingled within Little Bighorn National Battlefield Park at Crow Agency, MT - only an hour south of Billings.

We offer Staff Rides of Rosebud with

skits; see where the Sioux changed their

tactics. Fire carbines and pistols of the

period at Ft. Custer weapons range.

“Only by riding the Little Bighorn Battle-field can you truly put yourself in the minds (and boots) of the 7th Cavalry.”
